I agree, lovely selection of tetras, I also like the black neon's, they are such a hardy-well tempered and nice looking fish. Your other tetras look great too- thanks for sharing.

I also :1luvu: my espies. Was originally going to get them for the 75, but I am glad I waited. They would have been too small with the other fish (especially the diamonds), but are working out so well with the CDP in the 20 long. Super dithering fish, and beautiful color.

Great !!! Aren't they called Lambchop rasbora in English??? They are prettier than Heteromorpha I'd say !!!
You've got one tetraspecies in of which I forgot the name (black/silver/longer fins). Can you tell me what it is?

Actually TheWetSpot.com had them as pork chop rasbora. I also thought they were lamb chops.

Are you talking about the Black neons perhaps?

No there are some others in. Think i've seen them recently overhere (Holland).
The males do have longer fins!! Silver fish, black spot at tail, whitish fins.

Ahhh....yes those are Hyphessobrycon elachys or Reed tetra's, they were supposed to be "kitty tetra's" when I ordered them but there was a mix up, not unhappy with them though ;-)

Trigonostigma hengeli or "glowlight rasbora" is also an attractive little fish also, smaller even than the Espie and a little shy, they were the first fish I ever ordered from TWS :)
